eDatabaseCentral.com Terms of Service and Use

Thank you for your interest in EDC Instant Messenger If you have registered with the EDC Network, please review the EDC Network's Registered User Terms of Service, which govern your registration and use of EDC and other services on the EDC Network. If you have not registered with the EDC Network, the following terms and conditions govern your registration and use of EDC.
 
You Must Agree to these Terms of Service to Use EDC Databases
By using or registering for an EDC Product (defined below), you agree to these terms and conditions ("Terms of Service") and the EDC Privacy Policy. You agree to accept notices electronically. Each time you use an EDC Product, you reaffirm your acceptance of the then-current Terms of Service. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Service, you may discontinue using the EDC Databases. You cannot use or sign up for EDC Databases until you have accepted these Terms of Service. If you were an existing EDC user who registered with the Netscape Network, these Terms of Service supersede the Netscape Network's terms regarding your ongoing use of EDC. Additionally, if you are a user of Enterprise EDC Databases or co-branded EDC Databases, additional terms and privacy conditions may apply to your use of EDC.
 
EDC Databases
For purposes of these Terms of Service, the term "EDC Databases" shall mean EDC software (whether preinstalled, on a medium or offered by download), EDC services, EDC websites (including, without limitation, EDATABASECENTRAL.COM) and all other software, features, tools, web sites and services provided by or through EDC from EDC LLC and its business divisions (e.g., Netscape) and EDC's third-party vendors.
 
Additional Terms and Conditions for other Services or Products
You agree and understand that certain EDC Databases, features and other premium services offered by or through EDC (including services from EDC) may be subject to additional terms and conditions or registration requirements. You agree to abide by these additional terms and you further agree that a violation of those terms while you are accessing those products with your EDC Screen Name or through an EDC Product shall constitute a breach of these Terms of Service.
 
Modifications to the Terms of Service
EDC may change the Terms of Service at any time and in its sole discretion. The modified Terms of Service will be effective immediately upon posting and you agree to the new posted Terms of Service by continuing your use of the EDC Databases. EDC will provide at least 30-days' notice before any material changes take effect. If you do not agree with the modified Terms of Service, your only remedy is to discontinue using the EDC Databases and cancel your registration.
 
Requirements for Use or Registration of EDC Databases
The EDC Databases are intended for general audiences. You represent and warrant that you have adequate legal capacity to enter into binding agreements such as these Terms of Service. Some EDC Databases may require the user to register and provide information to EDC, such as name, e-mail address, gender, date of birth, zip code (the "Registration Information"). If you register for any EDC Product, you agree to provide accurate and complete Registration Information and you agree to keep such information current.
 
You will need a valid form of identification to use EDC Databases, such as a valid screen name issued by EDC or such other forms of user identification authorized by EDC (collectively, "Screen Name"). You may use the Screen Name already assigned to you from EDC-authorized services, such as, EDC, CompuServe or Netscape. If you do not have a Screen Name, you can register for a screen name on the EDC service. You may not (1) select or use a Screen Name of another person with the intention of impersonating that person, (2) use a Screen Name of anyone else without authorization, (3) use a Screen Name in violation of the intellectual property rights of any person or (4) use a Screen Name that EDC considers in its sole discretion as being inappropriate.
 
Inactive Status
Unless you are a subscriber to an EDC® fee-based subscription service (including, CompuServe®, EDC® or Netscape®), you must use your Screen Names on a regular basis (e.g., log into an EDC Product) to keep your Screen Names and registration active. EDC may cancel the registration and Screen Names and delete any e-mail or data any EDC Product of any registered user who does not have a current subscription or who EDC has determined in its sole discretion has not used such Screen Name for a period of ninety (90) days. If your Screen Name is canceled, you will need to re-register for an EDC Product and obtain a new Screen Name to gain access to registration-based features and tools. If the Screen Name that you previously used and which was canceled has not been taken by another registered user of EDC or any affiliated service including, without limitation, EDC, CompuServe or Netscape, you may re-register with your canceled Screen Name. You agree that EDC may deactivate any free e-mail accounts offered by EDC that you do not use or visit for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days. You agree that EDC has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any e-mail messages on such deactivated e-mail accounts. If your e-mail account is deactivated, you will need to reactivate an e-mail box or sign up a new account.
 
Registered User Information
The EDC Privacy Policy explains how EDC collects and uses information and the choices you have with that information. You consent to EDC using your registration information and other information collected by EDC under the terms of the EDC Privacy Policy.
 
By registering with or using EDC Databases, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information and the transfer of this information to the United States or other countries for the processing and storage by EDC. Additionally, you agree that EDC may use the Screen Names and wallet services, or other similar technologies, to authenticate you on EDC, help store your registration and transaction-related information, and enable you to take advantage of offerings from EDC and its affiliated providers.
 
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for all activity made by you or anyone you allow to use your EDC account and Screen Name, including your family or friends. You agree to keep confidential the passwords associated with your account. You may not use EDC while driving, operating hazardous equipment, or engaging in other forms of hazardous activities.

Third Party Account Usage
EDC does not authorize the third party use of its proprietary computers and computer network ("the EDC Network") to accept, transmit or distribute unsolicited bulk e-mail sent from the Internet to EDC subscriber members through current EDC account holders. Any violation wil result in the account holder being billed the initial cost per third party use. In addition, Internet e-mail sent, or caused to be sent, to or through the EDC Network that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing will be deemed to be counterfeit. And penalty fees at cost will be charged. Any attempt to send or cause such counterfeit e-mail to be sent to or through the EDC Network is unauthorized. Similarly, e-mail that is relayed from any third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party, or which employs similar techniques to hide or obscure the source of the e-mail, is also an unauthorized use of the EDC Network. EDC does not authorize anyone to send e-mail or cause e-mail to be sent to the EDC Network that violates EDC 's Terms of Service. EDC does not authorize the harvesting or collection of screen names from the EDC service for the purpose of sending unsolicited e-mail. EDC reserves the right to take all legal and technical steps available to prevent unsolicited bulk e-mail or other unauthorized e-mail from entering, utilizing or remaining within the EDC Network. Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit or send e-mail to, or through, the EDC Network. EDC's failure to enforce this policy in every instance in which it might have application does not amount to a waiver of EDC's rights.
